“When I say that we need to free ourselves from the past to become truly free, I am referring specifically to the pacts of revenge we carry. These pacts are what keep us trapped in the suffering we experienced in our past. Many unconsciously choose not to succeed in life in order to take revenge, just as they choose to use their life energy to sustain and feed their negative patterns and addictions. These negative behaviors which repeat indicate that our consciousness is imprisoned somewhere in the past.”
